	If you have only the list moderator password, the only thing you 
can do is to perform list moderation tasks.  You will not be able to 
log into the general admin page for that list, or perform any of the 
broader list administration tasks.

	If you have the list administrator password, you can log into the 
list moderator page and the list admin page, and you can perform all 
list moderation functions as well as all list administration 
functions.  The same password will work in both places.

	If you have the site administrator password, you can log into the 
list moderator page or list administrator page for any list on that 
server, and perform all the appropriate tasks.  The same password 
will work for all lists.


	So, if you want your list moderators to also be able to do list 
administration, then give them the list administration password and 
make them list administrators and not just list moderators.
